The Pain

Sometimes life plays a game.
It makes you regret a lot.
Things run through your mind,
And the flashbacks start.
Memories flood our thoughts,
And we think for just one minute
That we are fine, when in truth we are not.
Regrets follow us down the portal of our mind.
Stuff happens, and we lie.

Sometimes we can't even trust ourselves.
Sometimes we try to cover up our wrongs,
With more lies, more and more, one after another.

Everyone has secrets.
Things that we don't want anyone to know.
We lie to cover them up.
With each lie, life becomes more and more
Complicated.

It gets hard to just live through the day.
We get so tangled up in everything.

This is when it hurts.
This is when we feel like we want to die.
This is when we feel numb.
This is when the pain starts to pull us under.
And then we drown.
